Thoughtful Geeks Podcast: Episode 2
Our second episode!
We decided to change our format a little for this and future episodes: we will be discussing just one topic per episode to allocate more time for an in-depth discussion, and keep the podcasts under 45 minutes (or goal is just 30 minutes hopefully). Being our name is "Thoughtful Geeks," we feel it will be a better fit to be more, well, thoughtful!
This week we discuss a recent article that has stirred a bit of controversy in Christian academia, by Dr. J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Talbot School of Theology, titled "How Evangelicals Became Over-Committed to the Bible and What Can Be Done About It." We provide a brief overview of the article and then highlight some recent responses from academia, other apologists and Christianity Today, and also share our personal thoughts on the entire discourse.
Here are links to a large number of responses to the article, many of which we discussed in the podcast. Take note of the variety of responses, both in support and rebuttal:
Feel free to volunteer your thoughts on the matter and suggest future topics to us. Thanks for listening!

Great discussion. Thanks for the challenges issued here! Being the mother of a geek, but not one myself, I found my mind really being stretched. I really enjoyed the second half of this the most. I plan on recommending your podcasts to the leaders in my church.
I have long felt that the world in general looks at all Evangelical Christians as ignorant and uneducated. I am glad you are doing something to help change that erroneous view. I also appreciate the nudge to the Christians who are just wandering around like dumb sheep, content to drink milk the rest of their lives. Thanks, guys!
